SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) will help your franchise appear on the Internet more often for search terms related to Chem-Dry or N-Hance services. (Keywords such as: carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, wood refinishing, renewal, etc.)
Our SEO service will help you appear in the "organic" search results. Organic search traffic is the most cost-effective lead source. However, because we improve your rankings naturally over time, results usually don't appear until 2-3 months after the start time.
What you can expect from our SEO services:
- Monthly Updates & Maintenance
- New content each month
- Maintenance of 65+ local listing sites (Yelp, CitySearch, Google places, etc.)
- Monthly reporting on search ranking for target keywords & website traffic

√ Faster load times … another critical SEO indicator for Google AND a key factor in creating a better consumer experience
√ Built-in SEO tools so you or your digital marketing vendor can manage and optimize your site for your business and local community
√ SSL encryption to help protect you from potentially harmful hackers and viruses - another important SEO-impacting criteria for Google

CUSTOM DOMAINS
Purchasing a custom domain name through HRI is a great way to represent your business online. HRI provides a free chemdry.net subdomain, but having a custom domain name for your specific business can help customers find you easier. Purchasing a domain name is also necessary to have a custom email (i.e. info@hometownchemdry.com). Any domains used to promote Chem-Dry services must be approved by and registered through HRI*
- A domain can be pointed to your current chem-dry.net website, a microsite or a vendor-created website.
- HRI WMS will purchase your domain name and then point your domain name to your website for you.
- Domain names purchased through WMS will not need to be renewed for 5 years.
- Should a domain be purchased/registered outside of HRI, ownership will need to be transferred at a fee of $75.
CUSTOM EMAILS
Part of maintaining professional communication with your customers is using a professional email for your business. The Web Marketing Services team is your source to set up the premium Google email service, G-Suite.
G-Suite emails allow you to use your website's domain name for your email address (i.e. support@hometownchemdry.com). Once your domain has been purchased, call the WMS team to help you set up your own custom G-Suite email account.
- You may purchase up to 10 custom domains
- Each email is an annual fee of $60
- Please allow 5-7 to complete the process
CLIENT REVIEWS
Marisa Morris
I just wanted to share some results from a Facebook ad I JUST started running because of the webinar done by WMS last week. I'm not sure who from WMS did the webinar last week on FB advertisting, but I changed up my ad because I loved the idea of "New Year-New Carpet" with a before and after picture. I've spent $18.37 since Feb 18 and have gotten 83 website clicks. THAT'S 22 CENTS A CLICK!!!

Before we started with your Company, we had hired an SEO that we paid thousands of dollars, and never got anything in return. They had the wrong phone numbers posted and never fixed anything. We changed over with your company spring of last year and we saw immediate response...it was like hitting the jackpot in Las Vegas...we were excited and thrilled and always let Nikita know how grateful we are that she is diligent in updating our sites. We continue to get great service so far. THANK YOU !!!

We have been in business for nearly 26 years. Times simply are not as they were financially for us and for most small businesses in this part of the country.After conferring with Nathaniel on a couple of occasions we believed it would be in our best interest to try the WMS program. We had started it a bit earlier than when we began contact with Nathaniel. In dealing directly with Nathaniel, he was super helpful at getting us set up and operating as efficiently as possible. I may add that anytime we happened to have a little "glitch" of some sort in the program, Nathaniel would immediately begin work on rectifying the problem and coming up with a solution for us. He's a great and wonderful asset to HRI in our opinion and should be commended for his hard work and ethics.
